Topic: Thought You Guys/Gals might enjoy a little Pete Murray....

I've been playing this one a lot lately and just thought I'd share it in case anyone else found it catchy...

The song is "Opportunity" by Pete Murray  http://www.youtube.com/user/Guitarpixx# … 9TlDXSQfs0

A quick breakdown of what he's playing... Capo on 1st. Playing G and Em twice using F# (only the bass note) as a passing note then he's doing the same between C & Am using B as a passing note....
Sort of like this   G (F#) Em (F#) G (F#) Em (B) C (B) Am (B) C (B) AM  etc... That covers the verses and the chorus is just
G, D, Am7, & C

He's got a few good songs like "Better Days" "Saving Grace" "So Beautiful" etc....

Sadly I cannot listen to this as it is blocked for copyright reasons.

Tiddly is a new one for me smile I like that!

I don't like my voice through the webcam so I never post covers... Well almost never, I have posted 6-7 over the years but always pull them after a few months because I'm just not happy with the results... I'm happy with the results I get when recording through my condensor mic into my digital recorder but have yet to really sit down and figure out how to lay everything out, sync it and up load. I keep going back to it and trying to figure it all out but just end up getting frustrated and saying to heck with it... Especially since I always seem to get a few good tracks into it and then somehow manage to delete all my progress... Maybe one day...
